How to access POS Settings
- Log in to your BloomNation Dashboard.
- Go to My Shop in the left-hand menu.
- Select POS Settings.
POS Settings now include a sidebar for quicker navigation between sections.
Create order settings
These settings control how the in-store POS Create Order flow behaves.
In-store create order: starting section
Choose which section appears first when you open the Create Order form.
- Customer information – Start with recipient and sender details.
- Items – Start directly in the item and product selection flow.
Auto assign order taker and designer as the logged-in employee
- When enabled, the logged-in employee is automatically assigned as both order taker and designer.
- When disabled, these roles must be selected manually.
Remove tax exempt option checkbox while creating an order in POS
When enabled, the tax-exempt checkbox is removed from the POS order creation screen. This is useful for shops that rarely or never process tax-exempt orders.
Auto save POS orders (once per minute)
- When enabled, in-progress POS orders are automatically saved once per minute.
- This helps prevent lost work if the POS refreshes or disconnects.
Enable tipping on card reader
- When enabled, customers are prompted to leave a tip during card reader checkout.
Delivery Management settings
Delivery-related settings control customer notifications and delivery tracking behavior.
Send SMS to customers when you mark order as delivered
When enabled, customers receive a delivery confirmation SMS when an order is marked delivered.
This setting applies to any order marked as delivered anywhere in the system and does not require Delivery Router.
Delivery Router settings
If you use Delivery Router, you’ll see additional options:
- Send customers SMS delivery updates
- Share live driver location with customers
These settings control in-route delivery updates and live tracking for orders placed on delivery routes.
